YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | GETTING STARTED

When will I get my period? I need to know!

 
Most girls get their first period around 11 or 12. However, some girls get their period as early as 9, and some as late as 16. The truth is, every girl is different. But we can assure you that, sooner or later, you will almost definitely get it.

Q: Once I get it, how will I know when it’s coming next?

A: For the most part, girls get their periods every 28 days or so. While some can predict the exact day of their next period, other girls have irregular cycles and may be off by a week or more. You may be even more irregular when you first start getting your period, skipping a whole month or two. This is perfectly normal—nothing to panic over. Says Jerry, 12, “When you first start getting it, you can never predict when it might strike. I once got mine twice in one month.”

Q: I’m terrified I will be caught totally off guard. What can I do?

A: This is the extreme fear for girls. Says Kristi, 10, “I always hear about girls going to dances in white dresses and walking out with a big red spot!” First of all, of the hundreds of letters we received, only three girls said they were busted in public with a surprise stain.
   
But, OK, there’s certainly a fair chance you’ll be surprised at least one prepped. Keep a few pads in your locker and a sweater you can wrap around your waist, just in case. Our readers also say they keep spares for friends, which is a smart (and generous) idea.

I have discharge, and it has been about 3 months. I'm 11 and my mom got her period when she was 13. I'm worried I might get it in school. I have a couple pantiliners, I don't think a pantiliner will be thick enough if I get my period!!!!

 

 

Hey girlie,

There's no way to predict exactly when you'll get your period - even having discharge and knowing when your mom got her first period won't be able to tell you much. Throw some pantyliners and a pad in your bookbag just in case it happens at school. Read up on periods (check out our Periods, Period section linked below!) so you're totally prepared and not surprised one bit when it comes. And then, try to relax. Remember you can't guarantee when you'll get your period, so there's no sense worrying about it. Take a deep breath when you feel overwhelmed and just enjoy life. If it comes, deal with it then. <3 And if you don't have it yet, don't let it rule your life!

I am worried that I will get my period during school... my mom didn't get hers until 7th grade, I'm in 6th. I keep a couple pantiliners in my backpack for when I have discharge. I would like to keep a pad in my backpack too, but my mom thinks I won't need it. Should I sneak one into my backpack??

 

Hey girlie,

Go for it! But mom is right - you probably wouldn't need it. Because if you do get your period at school, the school nurse will have pads for you to use Smile Don't sweat it - it's not the end of the world to get your period at school!

MOD MOD MOD! I have literally every sign for getting my period- but my mom started two years after me. She says I have no chance for it to come so she won't buy me pads or panty liners (for the loads of discharge I get every day!) and idk where she keeps hers. Should I buy my own coz I really want to be prepared and not have to worry! Would that be wrong of me?

 

Hey girl! You should def buy your own stuff.  If you go in for a physical this year, ask the doc about whether you are closer to getting your period or not.  You won't necessarily get it the same time your mom did- it varies person to person.  You can just buy a small pack of panty liners just in case you get your period.  xoxo

Its me again dont want to be a bother but; i told my mom i think i might have my period soon, could i get a stash of pads,she said i could use hers but they are HUGE!!!! i dont know what to say!! ive heard that some companies sell smaller ones for younger girls. i mean shes a gyno but i feel wierd. help!!




Hey again,

No worries! You should totally be honest with her about how you feel. It's natural to have questions, and she's a woman so she's been through this before too - PLUS she's a gyno, so she's used to answering questions about this! And I'm sure she'll be willing to help ya figure out how to handle your period in a comfy and confident way Smile

MOD Hi I'm 11 turning 12 in 10 days and I have been having discharge for maybe almost a year. And Yesterday and today I had lower cramps lower back pain and pain in my legs. I have hair down there and and on my armpits. Like, a lot. I also had breasts for 2 years and I have gained 15 pounds in like 4 months and maybe 2 or three inches. I have hips. And a veryyy curvy figure my friends always ask me why. I think I have spotting if I do very little like one dot. I don't know though maybe not. Please reply and tell me am I going to have it soon? I know theres no possible way for knowing for sure because everyones different but am I having mine soon? Thanks and PLEASE reply(:




Hey girl!

     You're definitely right, there's no for sure way to know when you're getting your period for the first time, but it does sound like its coming soon. Cramps are a sign of an upcoming period and so is the spotting, so all you can really do is wait and have a period or tampon ready for when it does happen. Hope that helps! x0x0

Hey chica! Any abnormalities "down there", such as itchiness, burning or pain when you pee, or having a foul smell could indicate an infection.

i have a question!

so i am 12 and i am really tiny. like, not even five feet tall and underweight kind of tiny. and so for about a year and a half, i have been getting discharge in my underwear almost every day, and it is really heavy and can be really uncomfortable. also, for the past 8 or 9 months, i have been getting these AWFUL stomache cramps and stuff of that nature. it's also kinda been on a monthly basis...kinda weird. its like everything but the actual thing itself. can i expect to get it soon?

by razzberry on 8/21/2010 8:36:43 PM

by destine on 8/5/2010 10:11:45 AM

 
 

OMG! I really wish someone would answer this question since my mum keeps saying you wont get it soon. I want to know when i will get my period and when I was when I meen what age. I will turn 11 on the 11th of August 2010. I have been having vaginal discharge for about 2-6 months. It is getting heavier each time and i have to wear panty liners. My breasts are small but certainly have started devloping. I dont fit into a bra but every morning i can notice changes in my breasts. I have been growing but not really suddenly. I have okay mood swings regulary. I am 146cm tall and i have small curves in my hips. Now I have given you all the "embarrasing details" I hope it is worth it and someone can answer my question! I am desperate to know what age I will get my periods. Please help.

 

Hey chica, it's impossible to predict what age you will get your period at, but it sounds like you have all the signs of getting it soon. It could be soon, or it could be a few more months, but you're definately on track to get it sooner rather than later.

Why is there no period? I have been waiting. I'm going to be 13 on november 14. My mom says I should get it when I turn 13 because thats when she got hers. It's been like this for about 2 years. Is it normal to have to wait this long?

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!! I have all the signs of my period coming- breasts for 1 and a half years, discharge for 8 months, hair everywhere, and I'm 12. My mom got hers when she was 12. My discharge used to be sticky when i had an infection. But now its just all liquid, like really thin liquid. as thin as water. Is this normal?? Is this a sign?? When will i get my period??




Hey girl, everything that's going on is normal for a girl your age. I honestly cannot tell you when your period will come, except that you will get it sooner or later. Just be patient, you're on the right track and it will happen eventually. Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 12 years old, and have never had my period. Ive got allllllll the signs- breasts for 1 1/2 years, pubic hair for 1 year, discharge for 8 months, armpit hair for 10 months. My mom got hers when she was 12. Now I have a couple questions: Is it abnormal that i've had discharge for 8 months, and STILL dont have my period? When i went to the doctor for an infection he said that 8 months was quite a long time. And, when does it sound like i'll get it?

 

Hey girl, I know it can be frustrating to wait for your period.  Unfortunately, I really don't know when you will get it!  Discharge usually comes 6 months to a year before your period.  As long as you are taking care of your bod and checking in with your doc like you are, it should get here when the time is right - you just have to wait!

Hey girl!  I know tampons can be way difficult and frustrating at first, but it will get better!  It just takes practice.  I think this article has the best explanation of how to get started:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/06/23/007-Period-Advice.aspx.

Oh i didn't try to tackle it by myself. she's helped me but we can't figure it out. It will solve it because my mom specifically looked up my type of infection and that was a remedy. Do you know what that big piece of skin/tissue is??? And why I can't get around it??? And why it hurts???

by thedancergirl101 on 5/15/2010 8:58:57 PM

 
 

Hey girl, home remedies really aren't going to solve that. You need to talk to your mom and get a kit (they sell them at the stores to help deal with infections). Your mom can help you out on this one but don't try to tackle this by yourself. xoxo

Hey, just take a deep breath and ease into the conversation. Tell her your general concerns first, about your period and such, and then get more specific as you start to feel more comfortable. There's no need to be embarrassed, she'll want you to ask her questions about these things. Good luck!

Hey girl, it's hard to tell. This could possible be spotting meaning that you may get your period soon, but it could also be just a preview far in advance. Talk to your mom, or you doctor about this because they may have more information. Good luck!

hey girl! Nope, your mom is wrong. You can get your period up until you are 16 so you have plenty of time. You can ask a doctor for a prediction of when you will get your period, but you have nothing to worry about.

A moderator on here said wearing a pad would help with that issue. What kind of light pad would you recommend? I was thinking Always Infinity?

 

Hey girly! My sis is sitting here with me and just said that Kotex Light Days are great. Although, most light pads are generally the same, so I wouldn't worry too much about which one to get. Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!! I have a lot of discharge everyday and i go through 2, sometimes 3 pairs of underwear each day just from it being all wet and stained and everything. i do not have my period yet but I'm pretty sure it's coming pretty soon. Should i wear a pantyliner/pad for my discharge issue?




That would probably help.

MOD... thanks for answering my first question but i have anouther.. basically does breast developement nd pubic hair Relate to starting your period coz i dont really have boobs but youu said i have all the signsss ??

 

Hey girl!  They are all related to growing older and growing through puberty.  Usually breast development begins before your period, and continues a while after.

MOD MOD MOD!!! I am 12 years old and my mom got her period when she was 12. I started growing breasts 2 years ago, lotssssss of discharge for 6 months, occasional cramping, I'm 80 pounds, I'm 5 feet, and i have hair everywhere it should be. is my period coming soon?

 

Hey girl!
I can't say for sure, because every bod is different.  But it sounds like your body is going through all the changes it needs to be ready for it.

Mod, thanks for answering my first question, but i have anouther one, basically does How developed your breasts and pubic hair are relate to when you will start your period, because i always thought i would be late starting but by the sounds of your answer its going to come soon x thanks

 

Hey girl!  I would def check out this article:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/02/02/period-puberty-advice.aspx.  It tells when ya can expect the changes in your bod to come.  Of course, it can be a little different for everyone.  If you have more Qs, a parent or doc might be able to explain it a little better!  xoxo

MOD MOD MOD!!! Ok i have another question... What exactly is sex? Sorry if this is an embarrassing question but I've just wanted to know the details... I'm 12 and my parents haven't told me ANYTHING about it... I kinda know the gist of it but what are some details? I think I'm old enough to know EXACTLY what sex is.






Try asking your parents about it. If you let them know you're curious, they'll want to inform you and once you have sex-ed in school that will help get the information you want and need.

Hey girl, it sure sounds like your period could be right around the corner. I know it can be super embarassing to talk about your period, but remember that your mom is there to help. She knows all about periods and won't judge you. If you can work up the courage to talk about it with her, I promise it won't be as bad as you think.

Hey I'm 12 and 1 month. I have pretty much all the signs of getting my period, but I still don't have it. My mom got hers when she was 12 also. My breasts started growing about 2 years ago. I'm a 32 A. I have hair "down there", my legs, and my pits. i have lotttttttts of discharge EVERY day. Can you predict when I will get my period?? Is it probably gonna be soon or later?

by thedancergirl101 on 3/28/2010 10:22:18 PM

 
 

Mod!
When will I start my period?
I'm a 34a
I have hair "down there"
I have armpit hair
I have B.O.
I'm about 5 feet
I'm a size 6.5 or 7 in shoes
I weigh about 95 pounds
I'm ten years old
When I do start my period what is the best brand of pads and tampons?
Thanks!




Hey girl, I'm sorry but I can't really predict when you will get it. I can recommend Always infinity pads and tampax pearl tampons though.

Hi, my name is Sasha, I'm 12 right now. I turn 13 in April this year. I have discharge, I'm just getting hair in my arm pits. I have hair down there. Don't really have boobs. When will I get my period? It isn't like I want to have it, but my parents say "It is gonna come one day". I know that, but when? I will not be using tampons, just pads. I was talking to my Mom also, and she says I will probably have it every 28 days. So if I had my period on the April 1st, it would come back on the 29th? Is that how it works? I'm not nervous or anything. Like I said before I just want to know when I'm gonna have it. Please respond.

I have a lot of blood when i go to the bathroom and have discharge in my underwear. Although I don't have blood in my underwear. Can i still have my period. Also, my mom won't believe me if i tell her. I've tried! THis is 'cause she had hers at 16.

by Garlik157 on 3/12/2010 11:06:02 AM

 
 

Mod! this is URGENT ok so my mom and my older sister are so comfortable about talking about pads, i don't even like to say the word.Yuck! but i got boobs 32B i have no spotting i had discharge, a few bumps a little stressed-n-tired. so when. is the question in class i can barely concentrate i don't sit on the edge of my seat, just in case. i steal my sisters pads but shes tall-n-long so they don't fit me/ im scared to stick a tampon up there!!! help me please...my little sister has more hair than me, i ran in on her in the b-room on accident will she start b4 me thts kind of embarrasing she's taller than me to. but i got bigger boobs tho. so help please!! ur my only choice to avoid this embarrasing talk with my mom. (p.s. my sister ka'saya is also more immature, so id maturity a sign?) a really sacerd gurlyy.

 

Hey girl, I know this sort of thing can be scary but there's no need to stress so much. First of all, height doesn't have much to do with when you'll start your period. Even though everyone is different, you could expect to start around the same time your older sister did, but again, thats not a guarantee. I know you feel awkward talking to your mom about it, but she's used to it! She knows all about periods, so if you talk to her about your worries, I'm sure she'll be able to give you lots of advice and be more than happy to buy you some pads that are a better size for you. Also, I know tampons seem intimidating, but they really aren't that bad. If you're worried, start with pads and then when you feel comfortable, give them a try. Don't worry girl, it'll all turn out okay!

I got a bra a year before my mom started needing one(me:5/6th grade Her:7th grade) and I'm wondering if I'm gunna start my period a year before she did or sooner? She got hers when she was 14 and I'm still 11 (turning 12 on Sept. 27) I have hair "down there" and under my arms (about 4 months), I have discharge (a year), and wear a 30/32a bra, but no cramping or bloating. What do ya think?
Thanks! Sarah

And i didnt have my "." the 1st time i "spotted". also i noticed more discharge. i just wanted to know if these were signs of having it or if i will be having it soon. Plz answer soon! Smile

 

Nope, not annoying! Smile  All of these things are signs that your period is on its way, but there's no way to tell exactly when (in one week, in one month, in 4 months) it's going to come.  Just be sure you're prepared - have some pads or tampons tucked away in your closet and carry one in your backpack for when your "." decides to make its debut!

Hey girl,

 

What you experienced was "spotting" - when you have a little bit of blood, but not a full period.  For some girls, this is a sign that their period is on the way...for others, it's not.  So just sit tight and be patient for your period to get here.  You could get it now, or it could be here a year from now!  There's no way to tell for sure until it happens.

Hey missy, birth control is the wrong way to go. Birth control prevents you from having sex, not getting your period. It also has side effects like nausea, headaches, moodswings and breast tenderness. All that's not worth getting only three periods. Ditch birth control girly! Smile

Hey babes, I have never had back pain in the twelve years that i have had my period. Those are possible side affects but it doesnt mean that youre definitely getting your period. It is a matter of genetics as well as hormons in food, and your diet and your weight and all sorts of biological components that contribute to your maturity. Be patient. xo JANA

does that mean I am getting my period soon?
I aam really scared to tell my mom if yes
pliss answer as quickly as you can thanks Smile

There's no way to know exactly when you will get it, but those signs are often linked to PMS, so it's a good chance you could be getting it in the next month or so!

Hey girl! For sure. You're def developing and growing. Those are great signs of maturity but it will prob be a few more months or years before your period comes along!

MOD MOD MOD WHAT COLORS IS THE PERIOD??? I THOUGHT I GOT IT BUT IT WAS ONLY THE TINIST BIT OF BLOOD AND I HAVNT SEEN IT AGAIN P.S.THAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT

 

Hey missy, periods are red, usually a darker red. Your period might be on its way, that could explain the blood. Just in case it is coming, get prepared with some pads and by heading to our Period Page 9http://www.girlslife.com/hub/periods-period.aspx) to learn all about menustration. Smile

MOD MOD MOD sometimes my nipple on my breast has little bumps but they are useully soft and smooth, i know it sounds weird but are these goosebumpps? If not what is it? THX XOXO BLUESEA98

 

Hey chicky, no they aren't goosebumps. Goosebumps are usually harder and only pop up in certain situations. Sometimes when you see something that freaks you out or when you get cold. Those bumps are just apart of your breast, so no worries, you're fine. Smile Smile Smile

Thanks Megan. =P It helps a little, but I want to know what it looks like. I said 'what is it', but scratch that--typo. Sorry if I sound rude! I just want to know when I'll get it, so I'll be prepared. Smile




Hey! No worries.  It looks like a dark spot in your underwear when you get your period.  It could be brownish/red.

PS: I've had hair since...well, I started having light hair in 4th-5th grade, but it stayed the same since the summer of 5th. I'm in 7th now. I remember having breats in 4th grade, and I crashed onto my bed, but my breasts hurt, so I felt them, felt a lump, and thought it was cancer!

by arrowclaw on 12/15/2009 8:40:24 PM

 
 

Heheh, this may sound really stupid, but what is discharge? I /think/ I might have it, but idk! I'm 12, turning 13 in May, and I have had this pee-ish type stuff, but idk if it's pee! It's yellowish, sometimes whitish, and sometimes a little wet, but I can feel it come out, and I'm not sure whether I'm wetting my pants a little or if it's discharge! It happens a lot, sometimes I feel it more than other times, and when I check myself in the bathroom, it's either a dark stain against opaque panties, or a clear-ish, wettish smear against white. This has been happening for...hm, I'd say 6-10months, but I'm unsure. Smile Also, I sometimes see a brownish smear, but I'm also unsure if that's poo! (again, a stupid question) I feel like the only one who has no clue what discharge looks like! My friend, who got it yesterday, says her period looked like a bloody nose... (sorry for the longness!)

Hey hunni,
So I know I'm NOT a mod, but I know quite a bit about period, because I've almost had it for 2 years now, I got it when I was nine, I'm almost elevan (in March I'll be elevan). That's actually what happened to me when I got my period, I was tired like 24/7, I had a bad stomach ach and tuns of other stuff. Me and my mum didn't even think about period (why...?) so we thought I had a stomach bug (lol). I didn't go school (YAY!), then I started spotting, so I wore a pad, and then a few weeks later it came. I was only nine, so I didn't know much, (e.g. discharge, only getting it for five days (maybe more like a week) the truth is, I hardly new anything!) I didn't even know that much about discharge untill I found this website.
Anyway, you'll probably start your period soon.

I hope I've been helpfull, good luck!

*MOD MOD MOD!!!*
I really need your answer now! I got my period when I was nine, I'm ten now, almost, twelve.
What I wanted to know, is, well... um... it's embarresing, but, my dog LIKES the smell, she jumps on my bed, does SOMETHING to the sheet, and follows me to the toilet THEN tries to GRAB the USED pad!
Help!
BTW, is it normall for a nine year old to get it?
Thanks a bunch! X

 

Hey Girl! Animals can be a little weird sometimes when it comes to scents. Once you've used a pad, wrap it up in toilet paper really well, and maybe throw it into a separate garbage can, or even put it in a plastic grocery bag and tie it up. That way there is no way that your dog will get to it! ....... Everyone gets their period at a different age. You get it whenever your body is ready and it seems like yours was!

It's when you find little spots of blood or dark discharge between periods.

my arms are deffintly very hairy. i know this sounds stupid that im unhappy with it but many people make fun of me for it and i dont like taking of my sweater cause my arms are way to hairy. Yes i hav tried some of the stupid thing: using scissors to cut it off and it turned out really bad that the hair was uneven with one spot with tons and the other spot with pretty much none. PlEaAe tell me wat to do!

MOD MOD MOD okayyy so i know you are probably going to say "oh it's fine you will start soon don't worry!"...but im 14 almost 15 and i'm the only one in the grade who hasn't started yet and my boobs aren't exactly small, i have hips, lots of discharge(for 2 yrs now) and everything else. My best friend(who is shorter than me and doesnt even have boobs yet) just started!! i feel horrible...i'm the only one....will i ever start?!




Hey babe,




Yes. Everyone gets their period at their own pace. Once it comes you are going to wish that you didn't get it until later. If you are really athletic it might also delay getting your period because you are super fit. For more info, check this out:  http://www.girlslife.com/hub/periods-period.aspx

Mod! Ok, I'm ten and I have two problems, one is really easy and one is sorta hard.Here's the easy one. I don't have my period, but I want to be prepared just in case it's at school. I don't want anyone see a pad in my hands but I don't want to lug around my backpack. We don't have lockers and purses aren't allowed so what do I do? The second is I've been getting TONS of cramps, I think it's been a year of discharge, I've got hair everywhere, and I'm really starting to stink even after a shower. Is it coming?

 

Hey girl!  Try getting a flat pencil case with a couple different sections.  Keep your pads in one of the sections so that you're always prepared.  It does sound like you're going to hit puberty soon.  Def start keeping those pads with you, just in case it comes when you least expect it.  Best, Kristen <3

1. Do you have your period? Yup!
2. How old when you got it? I just turned 13
3. What was your bra size when you got it? 34B
4. Pads or tampons? Tampons, but I'm not exactly speedy, so pads for skool
5. Brand of pads/tampons? Always for pads, Tampax for tampons
6. If you dont have it do you want it?
Have it!
7. Bra size now? 36C
8. First period story? We were on the side of the road taking pics, I went inside to go to the bathroom and ... TADA!!!

im 11..... almost 12, have hair... (ya know), i have had discharge.. for well... it seems like forever! and i wear 36a bra, and about a week ago i had a HORRIBLE cramp and i have them every so often... do u no if im getting close to having my period? my mom thinks i might.. and if so i have a pad, pads in my gym locker, anything else i can to just 2 b safe?




Hey babe, you might but there's really no way to know other than waiting it out to see what happens. Packing pads is def the best idea and just know how to be prepared by asking your mom to show you how to use one and you should be fine!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!! ok well im turning 12 in May, I have breast tenderness, hair in the pubic area, and in my armpits. I also have B.O. Does that mean I'm close??! Also, I'm just curious, but when you get your period, can you like, um, pee it out? Or does it appear on your underwear and leak? THANKS!

 

Hey girl, it sounds like you're getting close, so start keeping some pads with you in your bag just in case.  When you get your period, it comes from your vagina and usually lasts for about a week.  ~Kristen <3

Thanks in advance!

 

Hey girl! Those are all signs of maturing, but I am not sure if you are getting your period yet or not. You can always talk to a doc to make sure that everything is happening the way it should.

Hi. Please help me! I am in seventh grade and i havent got my period yet! I know I am still young, but my mom told me like a week ago that in my family the girls dont get their period untill their SEVENTEEN!!!! Its imbarassing because i have hair on my legs but my mom will NOT let me shave! What should i do?!?!?

 

Youre still at the average age for girls to get their period (7th grade) so you've got time. If you're super worried, then see a doctor who can tell you like it is. As far as shaving your legs, my mom was the same way. Just let her know that everyone else is doing it and you really feel embarrassed. She'll understand and hopefully let you. Try to come to an agreement. Best,

Hey girl, this is still Alyssa B and you're right: it is a sign you're closer to your period. The thing is, however, it's hard to predict the magic date it will begin: it's different for everyone. The best thing you can do is be prepared for your period and count the signs. You'll def get it soon enough.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD- I have 2 questions. 1) I haven't gotten my period yet, and i've heard that you can tell when you get it, but how can you tell that from discharge. 2) when i do get my period, how will I find time to change my pad and stuff at school. we have 5 min passing times, and some classes use hall passes to use the restroom. when can I find time?




Hey babe,




You might experience things like cramping, breast tenderness or milky discharge leading up to getting your period. Five minutes will be enough time to use the washroom and change your pad. For more info, check this out: http://www.girlslife.com/hub/periods-period.aspx

I havent got armpit hair but ive got a load of pubic hair , kinda small boobs , and sometimes heavy flows of milky and clear discharge.
I get kinda wierd and short tempered sometimes and then in the morning my stomach feels like a rock . kinda heavy
Are these the symptoms of periods ?

so discharge is supposed to mean you'll start your period soon, right? Wrong! I have had discharge for a year and a half but I still don't have mine. Also I have all the normal signs of getting it soon (boobs, hair down there, pimples, etc.) except armpit hair, only I have had hair on my legs and down there for two and a half years! Are either of these things normal? Plz help me!! Thnx,
mimi




Hey girl! You are completely normal. Discharge doesn't necessarily mean you will get your period right away. It's normal for girls and women to have discharge all the time, with or without their period. Your period will come when your body is ready.

MOD! hey, so i think that i'm gonna get my period soon. I'm 12 1/2, i've had discharge for like a year, got hair down there and everywhere, sometimes i'll have cramps and stuff like that, and i get bad mood swings like i just had a fight with my dad about nothing! will i get it soon? My mom had her period when she was 13 and same with my sister does that mean anything? and why do girls always say they got thir periods after gym or some kind of sport?

 

hey girl!  It def sounds like you are going to get your period soon.  I've never really noticed a lot of girls say they go ttheir periods after sports.  But as for you, just relax and let nature take its course.  best, Kristen

. Do you have your period? No.

2. How old when you got it? Umm I don't have it

3. What was your bra size when you got it? Like I said I don't have it

4. Pads or tampons? I don't have it, but my mom's having me keep pads in my locker so I'll probably use those...

5. Brand of pads/tampons? I think the ones my mom got me are always...

6. If you dont have it do you want it? I don't want the actual PMS and blood and cramps and stuff, but I do kind of wish I wasn't one of only two of my friends who don't have it... it makes me feel like a freak.

7. Bra size now? 34A

8. First period story? I don't have it, so I'll say my friend's. She came a little late to school the morning she got her period, and so she asked at the office what block it was. The prinicpal told her "You're near the beginning of your first period" and she turned bright red cause it was kind of a double meaning!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... My best friend is one year younger than me, and we've been friends for over ten years. Well, she told me that her doctor thinks she will get her period within two months. My doctor said I will get mine within two YEARS. I think she will probably get hers before me, which should be fine but I don't think I'll be able to take it, since she is younger than me. I've heard so many people saying that getting your period isn't fun, but that's not my problem. It's that everything would just get so awkward around her if she were the one giving the advice and stuff. What should I do; I don't want a little thing like this to mess things up with our friendship.

 

hey girl!  Her getting her period won't mess up your friendship.  It'll be just like her doing something before you.  It's okay to get tips from her even though she's younger.  It's something that you'll have in common, but will happen at diff times.  No worries!  best, kristen

Hey,
To all you girls out there who are worried about getting your period to late or to early, chill! I started my period when I was 10 because I guess me and my body were ready for it, and to all you girls who haven't started yet, you probably won't be all awkward when you do start cause you'll know what to expact. Just some things to look over.

i think i might be having my period soon but the prob is my mom lives real far away i have no prob with telling her but i have to tell my dad because i cant get pads with my mom but i really dont want to tell my dad it will be to embaressing what is something i can do to make it less embaressing to tell my dad i needs to buy pads???????




Hey babe! Try not to worry, getting your period is a part of growing up.  Your dad is expecting it eventually, so try to think of it as a natural part of being a female.  You could try joking with your dad about it...if that will help make you feel less awkward.  Or, for your first time getting pads you could ask a teacher, aunt, or other female friend that will make you feel more comfortable!

I'm 14 and still don't get my period. my mom got it at the end of 8th grade and i'm a freshman now. The thing i'm most scared of is that I won't ever get my period and I won't be able to have children... is that possible? i know some women have infertility but what causes infertility?




Hey babe,

A lot of things can cause infertility, but it's really rare that not having a period is a sign. Most women who can't get pregnant have normal periods but have something wrong with their ovaries or other internal organs involved in pregnancy. I think you still have plenty of time before you have to worry.

I really need help! I'm 13 and haven't gotten my period. I'm pretty skinny and I don't eat that much food. My mom got it at 11 or 12 and says she's worried that I haven't started it yet and that it might be because I don't eat much. I oncee put in a tampon two months ago just to see what would happen and it came out brownish and gooey, but just at the top. Sometimes I feel slight discomfort in my lower stomach too. I've gotten a spot of blood or two coming out on a tissue but that was two or three months ago. I'v had discharge for maybe about two years. Am I too skinny for my body to get my period? I need help! Thanks!

My mom get her period when she was 15, but I'm only 12 and I have boobs, and I've had hair down there for a while now. I heard that the average age to get your period is about 12. Do you that I'll get my period soon or, since my mom got hers at a later age, I won't get it for a while?

 

I think your mom is just one of the indicators and you've already got lots of the others, so you'll prob get it sooner. Best,

Everyone uses tampons. It's the most simple way to deal with your period. However older women do go through menopause and no longer get their period. When this happens they often have tampons left over. So yes, even old people use tampons Smile xoxo kerra

Hey girl, periods come at different times for different girls -- there's no one magic sign or date you can predict. That said, you have a lot of signs that come before your period. It's definitely coming soon. No one knows when, girlie, but be prepared: keep some pads on you and hang in there. Good luck!

This can be totally normal. You may or may not be getting your period soon. Everyone's body reacts differently. If you are really worried, or this keeps happening, get in touch with a doctor!

Hey girl, you definitely sound like it. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when it will start (each girl is different!) but I'd be prepared. Keep some pads on you for when the big moment comes. Good luck, girlie, and congrats! You're getting close to being an adult!

i have had my period for about a year now and this month i missed it. Is that a bad thing or is it normal>? MOD MOD MOD




Hey girlie,




When you just start getting your period it's not going to be consistent, so it's pretty normal to miss a month or to be a few weeks late or early. You might have missed it due to a change in diet or exercise.

okay so i have just turned 14 about 3 months ago. i've had discharge for like a year and a half now. i wear a 34A bra. my mom got hers at about 12 1/2 years old. same with my One-year-older sister who wears like a 34C! And my mom wears a 34D.

i have REALLY REALLY terrible cramps but i think they might be just gas cramps sometimes.

i have really mixed-feelings about getting my period. i want to get it over with because i know i will develop more quickly once i get it. but then i know the ladies who are always complaining about their periods.

i need your help!! i don't know exactly what i'm asking but i just need a few answers to go with my info please!((:

thanks

1. Do you have your period? yes
2. How old when you got it? 13
3. What was your bra size when you got it? 34a i think
4. Pads or tampons? both i guess
5. Brand of pads/tampons? always
6. If you dont have it do you want it?
7. Bra size now? 34a
8. First period story? i was at dance camp and it was lunch break, so i went to the bathroom cause i really had to pee. and then i noticed it and was a little worried cause i didn't have anything with me so i had to use toilet paper. i told my best friend and she laughed with me, (she had already gotten hers.) so it wasn't that horrible.

Hey babe, don't worry about it so much. Just take it as it happens. If for some reason you do get it, have some pads around. Your mom will understand and will be able to help ya so don't worry.

Hey girl! It sounds like these are all signs that you're in the stages of puberty. Chances are, you'll probably get your period within the next school year or two. Good luck!

MOD what is spotting? and once you get it how long do you have until your period?

 

Spotting or bleeding in between periods can be very common especially for young girls like you who have very irregular periods.  You can spot at all different times mid-cycle so there is no way to know for sure how long you have until your period, however, a typical period bleed lasts from approx 5-7 days!

The best thing to remember about guy doctor's is that when the prod and poke it is strictly for OUR medical benefit!  They aren't really violating you it is just their job to make sure EVERY part of you is healthy and running properly.  However, it is completely a personal choice so if it makes you that uncomfortable let Mom know and I'm sure she will take care of it!

by lootiegal on 7/22/2009 5:51:17 PM

 
 

Your first period really isn't as big a deal as it seems for most girls. My friends and I all just discovered it at home or school, and we either had pads or got them from the nurse or a friend or someone. Plus, when you see that you got it, it won't be that heavy because it will be the first day. And it's usually light for the first and last day. But the best thing you can do is to just be prepared. And if you don't have a pad, just roll up some toilet paper and use it as a temporary pad until you can find a real one.

by supersingershannon on 7/20/2009 11:50:12 AM

 
 

1. Do you have your period? Yeah
2. How old when you got it? 12
3. What was your bra size when you got it? Probably like 32A
4. Pads or tampons? Tampons
5. Brand of pads/tampons? I like Tampax. But I guess it doesn't matter that much.
6. If you dont have it do you want it? Well, I have it. But I had mixed feelings before I got it.
7. Bra size now? 34B
8. First period storie? It wasn't really that big of a deal. I was home when night, right before winter break, and I saw that I got it. Nothing huge.

Hey girl, there's no surefire way to predict when you'll get your period, but there are some signs you can look out for, such as a cramping feeling in your back or lower stomach. It's a great idea to keep some pads with you in case it catches you off guard, or even wearing a small pad on days where you're really feeling like you might get it.

!!!!!!!!!MOD!!!!!!!!!!! my doc told me in November or December that I should start in 6 months. does he really have any way of judging that? if so, so far his judgement was false.

 

The 6 months was probably more of an estimate based on the statistics of other girls your age with the same height and weight.  It is completely normal to have not gotten your period yet.  It can take longer for some than it does others but that doesn't make you any less prone to getting it!  Just treasure the time of not having it... soon you'll be missing days like these!

Hey babe,

You don't have to be nervous going to the nurse because a period is totally natural. The nurse has been through it and has probably seen tons of girls just like you go through it. You can keep a pad in your pocket or something if you're worried or in your locker, if you can get it there easily. If you're worried about leaking through your pants you could also keep an extra pair at school, just in case of emergencies. You can tell your period might be coming soon based on how old your mom was when she got hers, if you're close to 100 lbs, if you've been having cramps or discharge... there are tons of ways! It's different for everyone though and there's no exact way to tell. Just be as prepared as you can be and it will be fine!

MOD! I don't know why but I'm freaked I'll never get mine. I'm twelve and have a little bit of discharge. I don't know why i think I'll never get it.




Hey girl! Almost every girl gets convinced at some point that she's never gonna get her period - esp. as it feels like everyone around her is getting theirs. Trust me though on this one, your time will come - I promise! Discharge can be a sign that you could get your period, but if you're beginning to go through puberty and developing breasts, then I would trust that your period is in the near future. I promise you though, I know it feels like you'll never get it, but I promise you, you WILL get your period eventually - I promise : )

Hey girl, you can wear tampons before you lose your virginity. At first, it might be uncomfortable wearing tampons. And lastly, you should wear tampons when you go swimming if you have your period because pads just won't do. <3 Jeannie

Hey babe, it could be either. You'll only know if and when you experience more blood. Keep pads on you in case you get a heavy flow.

mod. my little cousin is 7 and somehow knows about periods and all that. dont ask me how. anyway she claims she has her period ( i havent seen any proof and frankly i dont want to) but she wont tell her mom. and just the fact that shes 7 makes me think that she might just want my attention. i just turned 12 and i STILL dont have my period. is it possible for her to have hers?

 
I highly doubt your 7 year-old cousin has gotten her period.  She probably heard you or someone older talking about it and is saying she has hers (you guessed it) just to get your attention.  Explain to her that that is not something funny to joke about... after all, she doesn't want to be the girl who cried period!

My mom thinks I'm fine but I'm not convinced. I don't have my period yet and I'm 13! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey girl!  It could mean that your period is coming really really soon!  Discharge is completely normal and tends to get heavier right before Aunt Flow pops in for a visit!  If your really worried and you don't think that's it ask Mom to check it out or take you to a doc though!  Never hurts to be sure!

Hm sounds like your well on your way!  Your at the prime age for puberty and are having all the symptoms which makes it likely that you will get the big P very soon.  If doesn't come so soon as in the next couple days don't worry about it.  It may not even come for another year or so but chances are once you've gotten it you'll be asking for it to stop!

MOD MOD MOD My little sis doesn't have hair down there, just a few teeny tiny wispy soft ones. But she has discharge, and she said when she goes to the bathroom she can smell it. It is whitish/yellowish and she is scared. She has started shaving, but she hasn't hit puberty yet...I don't think. If it help she is 4'6 and ten and a half years old. She weighs around 65 pounds, so does she not even way enough to start her period? And do you HAVE to have hair down there to start your period? Hmm...do you think she'll start puberty soon she is kind of moody?
Thanks - iLiVE4fuN

I think it is amazing how we are getting our periods at 11 and 12 now and in the past we used to get it at 15 and 16. We went over this in class last year and our teacher said it could be from hormones in foods but she wasnt sure. Do you know why it might be like that because as soon as we get our periods we start thinking about things and boys in a different way?

Hey girl,

Idk if you're getting your period...maybe! But you can usually take Advil or some aspirin to erase those cramps ASAP.

MOD-
ok I've only had my period once before, so I'm still kinda new to it all. But now it's soon to "my time of the month", but I'm not sure what to do! I keep worrying about when or if I'm gonna get it because I've read on the site that it can be irregular at first. How can I expect it to come, and how can I be prepared? thanks!

 

Hey girl, ususally most girls have signs like cravings, stomach pain, etc. Because your period can be irregular, you can also try using panty liners so that if  you do get your period unexpectedly, it won't make a complete mess. Just always carry a little bag/tote that has all the supplies that you need. <3 Jeannie

How do i make them go away ive tried everything heating pads and everything!?!?!?!?!?!?! please don't send me a link cause those don't work on my computer!!! please help me!!!!!!!




Hey girly, I'm sorry to hear about your cramps. Those totally suck! Have you taken some medicine like Midol or Advil to ease the cramps? If you don't wanna take meds, did you know bananas are good for cramps? Also warm baths, exercise, and massages really help to relax the muscles. Avoid eating sugars and caffeine - instead reach for yogurt or green veggies to help un-cramp your tummy! ~Alexa

Sounds like your getting all the signals.  However, you can have signs of your period long before you actually get it.  Don't be worried if it doesn't come for a couple years and don't be in such a rush!  Once you get it you'll be saying "this is annoying, I don't want it anymore."

WHAT DOES "MOD" MEAN????

Mod (any help is appriciated)
So... we start summer gym on June 3rd. We have to walk around the track, play sports, and swim. The problem is that my period is due on the 6th. My period is still pretty irregular, so I don't know for certain that it will come on the 6th, therefore I can't use a tampon if it hasn't come.(or can I? It's from 7:30am to 11:55 am)
I just don't know what to do! I can't wear a pad in the pool and wait for it to come...and I can't use a tampon if it hasn't come!!! Ahhh, please help me with my dilema.




Hey girl,

Wear a pad when you think your period is coming, and keep a tampon handy in case it is on time. If it hasn't come when it's time for swimming, you could put in a tampon just for that time, but it probably isn't great for you. If you do use one, make sure it's a light one.

i have a few Q's
1. How much blood is it when you get ur pirod?
2. What are panty liners?
3. When you get your piriod for the first time is it likly for it to leak through?
4. Does everybody get cramps and PMS or just some?
5. I know it doesn't hurt when you properly put a tampon in, but does it hurt?
P.S. Please don't give me a link because for some treason those don't work on my computer.




Hey babe, the amount varies by girl and day of the period but it's not usually a super amount. Panty liners are like thin pads that you can use for light days or when you have discharge. Some girls leak and some get it when they go to the bathroom. Most people get cramps, though it is worse for some. If the tampon is in correctly it should not hurt, although some find them uncomfortable.

I hope I don't get it til after summer though, cuz I will absolutely NOT wear tampons, I have to wear pads, but I love swimming, and I won't be able to swim and stuff without tampons!

(I didn't get armpit hair until about 3 months later) I started having like pit stains and stuff when I was about 11 and a half, and idk if I have discharge- I get whitish sticky stuff in my undies but it might just be sweat or something- ew. Am I g2 get it soon? My mom didn't get it till she wuz 16, but all my aunts got it @ 12, except 1 who got it @ 14. I don't think I can stand waiting even another year. But idk if it's possible to tell frum a description like this, cuz like theres tons of others like that and they are mostly like "U'll probably get it in the next year" and "It's impossible to tell"
PS (this is wicked long) how can I stand waiting so long if I don't get it till I'm 16?

Symptoms for periods differ by people; one cuold have cramps or have different color blood. Give yourself more time to see if it is actually a period. If you are worried I advise you to go ask either your mother or doctor.

***MOD*MOD*MOD***
i was doing this fact or fiction thing in the bod squad section. and one of them was you dont get your period until you way around 100 lbs. it was true. i was so shocked. i am 13 and only way like 80 lbs. and i thought i would have my period soon cuz i have like discharge for 2 years and my boobs started growin 2 years ago too. is that really true i wont have period for like 2 more years while i gain 20 lbs??

 

Hey, girl. Everyone's bodies develop differently- 100 lbs. is an estimate so your period may or may not come at exactly 20 lbs later from where you are now.

Yo, jacerocks10!

. Do you have your period? Yes, I just got it three days ago!! *shudder*

2. How old when you got it? 11

3. What was your bra size when you got it? 34A

4. Pads or tampons? Pads

5. Brand of pads/tampons? Always

6. If you dont have it do you want it? I have it.

7. Bra size now? 34A (I've only had it 3 days!)

8. First period story? Well it was weird b/c this girl was going around asking everyone if they hhad it like 2 days before and I was all, "NO!" And then I got it!
I HATE IT SO MUCH!

by polkadotz97 on 5/21/2009 3:06:33 PM

 
 

MOD MOD MOD!!
I started my period for the first time 3 days ago. I put on a new pad overnight last night and it's clean now. Is it over for now? Or will it start back up in a little while? I know it's all crazy for the first year or so, so idk.
Also, should I get it about 28 days from the day I started or the day I finished?
Thanks so much!




Hey girl,

It's tough to tell, especially when it's your first period. I would say it's probably over, but you might wanna wear a pantyliner for the next day or so just to be safe--sometimes it goes away for a day and then comes back. And the 28-day cycle is counted from when your period starts.

I feel a little uncomfortable about this. I know all the signs and stuff but I do have a quick question, do you get your period after your breasts start to fill out or anytime?

by lexalicious on 5/21/2009 3:11:03 AM

 
 

1. Do you have your period? yeppp
2. How old when you got it? almost 14
3. What was your bra size when you got it? - 30A
4. Pads or tampons? - Well, I use pads but i hate them! They are so gross and messy, so tomorrow im going to try tampons, they just seem so much less messy! and i hate the feeling of my 'flow' hhaha gross!
5. Brand of pads/tampons?- tampax for tampons, always for pads
6. If you dont have it do you want it? before i had it, i was sooo scared!
7. Bra size now? 32A
8. First period storie? umm, i woke up in the morning and BAM! there it was, but i freaked, and ignored it, went to school. But it was soo light that when i came home i didnt bleed through. I told my mom eventually, but i was so freaked out to! not interesting but yupp!

I don't have my period yet, but I have all of the signs and will probably get it soon. I was thinking about maybe carrying my small little purse again to school, but then they came up with the rule that NO PURSES ALLOWED! Now I CAN'T bring a purse with supplies or I get in troulbe. And we aren't allowed to "forget" our books, or we get in trouble. And the teachers never let you go to your locker for anything other than that, so what can I do to be ready?

MOD mod MOD mod!!!!!!!! I started developing first out of all my bffs but i have stopped and they all have bigger boobs than me and have all started their periods while i havent! I started developing so early that my mom had to take me to the doctor to see if some thing was wrong with me but they didnt say anything was wrong with me. p.s. is it possible for someone to never get thier period?




Hey girl! Don't worry, you will get your period eventually. And it is common for some girls to start developing early and grow at a slower pace, whereas other girls start late and develop quickly. Every girl is different!

Hey girl,

There are a few things you can do while you wait. First of all, enjoy the time you have without your period and the cramps! Next, you should know ahead of time about the use of pads and tampons. You can ask your mom about this.

anyways, srry that was long and confusing, i just kinda feel stuck in the middle. like i whish i could talk to him about it, but he doenst know i know, and uggg, its so annoying. and she doeasn;t want me to say anything to him. how can i get them to talk to eachother and figure it out????
I just want them both to be happy but i dont want to loose anyone's friendship cuz i love them both so much. please help! thanks so much!

Just tell her that you're not going to be the middle man.  Tell her that if she wants something to happen with him, she needs to do something about herself. -lauren

Hey, girl,


The way your body feels before you get your period is different for most girls, but usually you may experience a cramping feeling in the pit of your stomach. You may also feel a little bloated, or find yourself craving certain foods. Check out this page and see if it helps:

When  you go camping, there are porta potties, and tell your dad how you feel and tell him that it's kinda immature for him to ignore you and it's not something you would do to him. Camping is ok, you can't judge it if you haven't tried it babe.

dear MOD, I just got my first period and my mom told me that it might be irregular. I think I know what that is , i guess it means off track or something. If I am irregular does that mean I will get my period late or early or what? I am a little confused. please help! thanks jellybean1998 P.S. If this helps I am only 11 so I am a little new at this hole period and puberty stuff.

 

Hey girl! Irregular just means that you probably won't get your period at the same time every month. And some months you might not get it at all. Also you may have a really light flow sometimes, and heavy flow other times.

~Mod~ I'm 12, and I haven't had my period yet. I've had lots of discharge(Like, everyday, every minute), and I was wondering if I'm close. I've had discharge for like, 6 or 9 months but I'm not sure. I know everybody's bodies work different. I'm in a 36a(yay) and just wondering. I'm sorta scared, but not really. I love swimming but, I really don't want to wear a tampon, cause' I heard they hurt. Help please :]

 

Hey girl! It's hard to tell exactly when you're going to get it but it might be soon. And you don't need to be afraid of tampons! When used correctly, they don't hurt at all!

MOD*MOD*MOD If during class or something I got my 'u know what' (havent gotten it yet) How would I ask my teacher if I can go to the nurse to get a pad or something. They are really strickt at my school and I wouldnt want to tell them exactly what I need. Got any suggestions on what to say to my teachers? They only let you go If your really sick, and I dont wanna tell them about 'it' because i have a lot of male teachers!

 

Hey girl! Do you have any meds saved at the nurses office? Maybe an inhaler or something. Even if you don't, say something like "may I go to the nurse to use my inhaler." Or maybe stash some pads in your bookbag or purse so all you have to ask is to go to the bathroom.

Hey girl,

All girls have different kinds of periods which includes color, timing, etc. Don't worry about it but talk to your mom so that she knows.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but your period is a natural thing and you can't really control when it starts.

Hey girl,

That's toatlly normal! Some periods are more red than others and some can look brown! It all depends on the person, their body type, and time of their period. Don't sweat it!

kk, so I got some pretty bad cramps, so i took ibeprofen. (sorry spelling!) I took it about 2 or 3 hours ago, but i have been getting side and lower back pain. Are theese not menstrual cramps?

They're probably from something else.  Take another ibuprofen and I hope you feel better. -lauren

MOD MOD! HELP NOW PLZ!! I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP!!!
I just got out of the shower (i take one at night) and I was about to put my underwear on when I saw about 5 little rusty colored drops. Did I have my period? My mom's asleep and I'll ask her in the morning but I didn't want to wake her up for major embarrassment. BTW: I'm 11, 12 in a month. I've also been having discharge and stuff. My mom always had trouble with heavy flow so do I have really light flow or will I get my real period in a few days? PLZ HELP! IM SCARED!!!

Hey babes,'

 

 

Everyones body goes through this at different times.  Sounds like your body is working its way there, just be patient and be prepaired, wear liners and carry pads/tampons.

MOD MOD!!! I'm eleven and I'm kinda scared. We watched the SOV for the second time and there were some questions I forgot to ask the nurse. I want to know if every time I have my period I will get PMS.

 

 

 

Hey babes,

 

 

Your body doesn't always react the same around that time.  Sometimes you'll get pms during sometimes before or after, sometimes you get cramps sometimes not.  Once you start getting it you'll know whats normal for your body and what signs, even if they come early, are part of getting your period.

I just started my period today and i got pads but like it stopped. was it just like a false attack or wat?




Hey babe, it might come back or it might just be a one-day period. It's normal for girls to have on and off days when they first start out. You just have to wait it out and see.

Hey girl! It sounds like you may have gotten your period. Either that or you just experienced some spotting, which prob means you'll be getting your period soon. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Your grandma is someone who can help you and you can trust.
